That can be done with Haiku as well. We should have a relatively 
working VNC server :)
Btw, BeOS sources had support for a networked version of the app_server 
link protocol, but it wasn't enabled. I'm not sure it ever worked 
though.
I believe many apps would have problems with that, as many just use 
BBitmap::Bits() without locking it, making it unaware of when changes 
happen (and so when it needs to be uploaded back).
(but that can be fixed when we have sources.
